OK...., Too many people contacting me about taking less, BLAH, BLAH, and BLAH. Gene French called me saying that I was too kind on price in a nice way as his stuff alone without shipping would by $2,800.00 to $3,000.00. I am NOT hurting for money or dying, I am resetting my life and where I want to be in a new chapter in my life with family. It does NOT include the Model T! I have met without a doubt some fantastic people but also some total a$$h0le$ that are in it for themselves.So with that said...., the Gene French Babbitt/Boring Kit by its self, $2,000.00, The KR Wilson stock crank ream $500.00. I just want stuff gone either by a good decent price or to China you go! Your new car might have pieces from the Hank Lee collection and you will not even know it!

Have a GREAT DAY FOLKS!

Good on you Hank, I don't do whiners well. My take is, "It's unfortunate that you want to buy a car or build one but can't afford it. Maybe you should wait until you can." I think it is time that we stand strong on the value of what we have built well or we will continue to allow others to control our values. Anyone who puts together a $7,000 dollar car can't expect much more than that but, one who buys $15,000 or more in parts alone and puts in a year of work plus paint and machining expenses, should not cave to those who have barely graduated from turning a screwdriver.

Grown men acting like children is not in my wheel house either! Thanks Ken! So sick and tired of all the ones saying, " You can't do that, ie, 165 HP out of a Model T engine" Well it is done, NEXT! Yet, now no comments as their mouths are full of humble pie, crow, or the remains from a septic tank. I can remember when this club fostered not too long ago good gentlemen's conduct. Now....., It has become a therapeutic punching/bully club. Yes.., times change but with 35 years of military service under my belt, I do not waver! You want to learn.., gain knowledge, you want money..., do without and get educated, you want happiness..., do not hang with misery!

Going for scrap metal! Will not accept grown men if you want to call them that with insults! Don’t need the money, want a good home and out of sight and mind so to say. When items are no longer available don’t ask why with cheap asses!

Babbitt is sold so only the Gene French line boring equipment as a set with extra misc tooling, $1,700.00…., KR Wilson ream, $400.00.

Scrap metal should go up is the second option!
